To insist on dd not having 12 film for her 12th birthday party?

I might be being over precious on behalf of other parents or might be spot on-I guess it's a proper AIBU!

Dd is in year seven and is having a birthday pizza/movie at our house. She's 12 and in any case, as long as we've checked it out, we have allowed some 12 films before. Of course, most of her friends that are coming are not 12 yet!

Thing is, I don't know the other parents well (at all-they're all new friends from secondary!!) and don't want to do a 12 film if their parents don't want to. And I equally don't want to put them on the spot by asking - potentially either they'll say yes under pressure or no but feel uncomfortable.

Am I over thinking this? And if no 12 movie, can anyone suggest some good 12a or P G films that she won't think are babyish?!!

I can report that all went well and that there isn't any sex in pitch perfect. Might be in pitch perfect 2? Anyway, all good and all the girls enjoyed watching the film they'd already seen (when they weren't giggling, squealing and looking at their phones!! I feel a post coming on about whether I'm going to need to chill out about phone use 😂)

My 9 year olds have watched both the pitch perfect films I can't believe such a fuss about 11 year olds watching it!
But glad they enjoyed it!

There's no sex in pitch perfect 2 either
